Saint Stephen of Hungary

Matthew 18:21-19:1

There may be some people in this world who do not know how to love, simply because they have never received love. There are some who do not know how to be kind, because they have never experienced kindness. There are some who do not know how to compliment and affirm others simply because they have never been affirmed or complimented. But there should be no one who does not know how to forgive – because everyone of us has experienced forgiveness – the forgiveness of God through the passion and death of his son Jesus Christ.
